Whisk in the egg mixture until just combined. Don’t mix too much, as this will make the pancakes chewy (you’ll activate the gluten in the flour).

I decided to mix the recipe using the Muffin Mixing Method, which makes the pancakes lighter and fluffier, instead of using the All Ingredient Method, or dumping all of the ingredients into one bowl and then mixing, which is how the original recipe was written. I added some melted butter for additional flavoring and color. I also wanted to highlight the flavor of sour cream in the pancakes, and baking soda also helps with that. Baking soda is added not only for leavening, but enhances the finished golden brown color (the recipe calls for very little sugar, which helps baked goods brown).

They really are out of this world, and any time I can make it there, I'll order them, even if it's lunchtime or dinnertime! I asked owner and chef Ron Silver if I could share the recipe with all of you on and he was happy to oblige! Unfortunately, as is the case with many restaurant recipes, it was perfect at the restaurant but not for the home cook it just didn't taste the same or have the same lovely texture. I am a huge fan of Bubby's Restaurant in Tribeca, New York City, and am especially enamored of their scrumptious Sour Cream Pancakes.
